Suspend it all at once!

13. February 2025, 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm

Sometimes suspension is a challenge: the model is heavier than the rigger, adrenaline is an obstacle to having fun, the time needed to unlock the lines and go down is scary, and having so many things to take care of… During this workshop we will show you a way to create the pattern for the suspension you want, all on the floor and then how to lift it up all at once, with a homemade pulley that makes the lift lightweight, eases the way down, and is very much satisfying! We will use this excuse to have a floor rope session, with all its fun, then lock all the lines while still on the ground before lifting it up all at once. A way to increase inclusivity for heavier models, anxious folks, and fun addicts!
